They better win in the next 3 years or they'll never have a team here anymore and we'll lose the last Canada team in baseball

I think people in Blue Jay land are forgetting that when you have major league talent on the field, it gives you years to restock the farm system...three years of drafts and IFA's while the major league team does its thing will fix any concerns about the farm.

Just wait until next year when our recent draftees start moving up the prospect boards. The prospect whores will be back in full force and forget any of this misery ever happened.

I am the biggest prospect whore I know, and I am so pumped about this trade. You gotta realize that prospects are currency. As long as you keep acquiring them, you'll be fine. They need to be used to trade or they go to waste.

And we thank you for that. The updates and scouting reports you contribute to the minor league forum make it much more awesome

That's not a bad point, and considering most of our talent is in the lower levels anyways, I would have to agree.

This.

We traded our top prospects who were on the verge of being MLB ready; however, we have a ton of high ceiling guys who were drafted in the past couple years that will be ready in another few. The good thing is that we have a young MLB roster so it's not as if we require a huge influx of prospects to be ready in the immediate future.

I love the sense that finally after the long and painful way of rebuilding we finally have something to get excited about. I cant blame AA for being this aggressive knowing the current AL east situation and having all this primed player needing just the right people to play with not some prospect we want to test out.

Did we give up a lot? sure, But it will be all worth it knowing the team finally fielded an awesome team on the team after years of uncertainty. I do love the prospects we have but AA and friends stick to the plan of rebuilding the farm and when the right moment arise (now) strike and use every ammunition they are gathering on those years.

In terms of Dickey. He is a huge mystery. Discovered a different Knuckle on his latter years. last 3 years has been awesome. One can argue if Age will really be a factor or being a knuckler will just make him be better as he age. In terms of what ifs. we play those all we want but in the end having Dickey now will help immensely on the current team we have. Even if he pitched bad on the world series you can also say he helped us get there.

All in all lets just enjoy it Jays fans! finally we have a team worth spending our money and love for! Go jays!
